Script: SOS Battles [DBK Add-On] [v21.1]

[Lucidious89]

SOS Battles for v21.1
An expansion plugin for the Deluxe Battle Kit which adds the SOS mechanic to your wild battles!

Overview
This plugin adds the SOS mechanic introduced in Pokemon Sun & Moon to your game. All mechanics have been replicated here, meaning that SOS chaining for shinies or perfect IV Pokemon is implemented, too. Totem Battles have also been implemented, allowing you to set up some unique wild boss encounters. In addition, this plugin also allows you to set up "rival" species, which allow you to have wild Pokemon that can attack each other in battle if they are of rivaling species (like Zangoose and Seviper). This plugin also fully utilizes the Deluxe Battle Kit's mid-battle scripting, allowing you to create scenarios where wild Pokemon or even trainers can join the battle at any point.
